Easton's Farmers Market


On Saturday mornings centre square in downtown Easton, PA is filled with people. Everyone gathers around hundreds of vendors to either get a fresh cup of morning coffee, delicious breakfast sandwiches, or to shop for hand made goods. On Wednesday nights, centre square is filled with people purchasing last minute produce or meats for their dinner, grabbing dinner from various restaurant vendors or stopping bye for home made desserts. This is known as the Easton Farmer's Market.

Back in 1752, the city of Easton was founded and Easton Farmer's Market was established. For over 2 centuries farmers and vendors have been gathering on the centre square of historic downtown Easton to sell a variety of fresh produce, handcrafted goods and baked goods. The farmer's market ties back deep roots from Easton's history and creates a vibrant shopping place to celebrate the upcoming of the city. As of today, the Easton Farmer's Market has been continuously running naming this farmer market, as the United States longest running Farmer's Market. 

All products sold in the Eaton Farmer's Market is locally grown and produced. Majority of the products sold are all natural, chemical-free, and all produce is GMO free. All meat and dairy is antibiotic and hormone free. Before selling in the market, all farms and producing sites go through inspection to make sure it meets all these qualities. This allows Easton citizens and neighboring cities to purchase the best produce around.
